After Saturday's game, the list of positives for Texas A&M was longer than it's been in several weeks. Kevin Sumlin and his players took to the microphone to break down their 25-0 defeat of Vanderbilt, Kyle Allen's start and much more.

Powered by Tra Carson's third straight 100-yard rushing game and four touchdown tosses from two quarterbacks, the Aggies overcame a slow start to move to 7-3 in the season's final home game. After Saturday's final Kevin Sumlin and his players reacted.

When the dust settled in Houston, the only thing that had surpassed the hype of John Chavis' Texas A&M debut was the reality. And while most of what made the Aggies successful was from the classic Chavis playbook, the talent on the roster allowed for a few new wrinkles.

The turnaround John Chavis engineered in the Texas A&M defense is so stark as to seem whiplash-inducing. With depth, talent and confidence dominantly on display against a strong offense, the Aggies' ceiling appears much higher.

Once a project, the defensive line now projects to be one of the strongest areas of the Texas A&M football team. The true secret to Terry Price and Mark Hagen's unit isn't even in the talent, which has been stockpiled — it's in the depth.

A two-year starter and tied for second on the team in sacks in 2014, senior defensive tackle Alonzo Williams enters the season looking to close out his time at A&M in strong fashion.

A mere week separates the Aggies from the summer months. The results from last Thursday's situational scrimmage and the three practices remaining will combine to begin the tale of what to expect when fall camp arrives.

During Wednesday's edition of TexAgs Radio, former A&M and NFL defensive back Jordan Pugh joined the show to give out his first PUGH award, highlight the play of A&M's defensive line in 2015 and more.

Two-thirds of the way through an important spring, A&M has results both expected and surprising to work with. A number of Aggies have five more practices to state their case — and bolster their positions' outlooks.

Littered across the roster are talented offensive pieces awaiting their chance and defenders who may find new life in John Chavis' system. Five of them have every opportunity — and all the talent — to become impact players.

On Monday, Gabe and Olin looked back on the 2014 season and doled out awards for 'Song of the Year (best game)', 'Single of the Year (best play)', 'Producer of the Year (best position coach)' and many more.

None have proven to be the bane of the Aggie offense quite like the Tigers, but this year's are two very different teams. In a clash with many strength-on-strength battles, a select few will decide the victor.

The Aggie roster is dominated by young talent, but a pair of upperclassmen have an opportunity to make a difference. Meanwhile, LSU's roster looks awfully familiar. Who will be remembered on Thanksgiving Night?

Whatever second chance the Aggies afforded their season with the Auburn win, they then squandered. A final look begins with a defense that found a new level of defenseless in the game's most pivotal moments.

Any momentum the Aggies brought home from Auburn, they quickly squandered. Overwhelmed by Mizzou's high-scoring third quarter and punchless late in the clutch, A&M lost another conference game at home.

The Aggies' season outlook shifted in one Saturday, due largely to the beyond-their-years play of several future stars. The Tigers feature a strong pass rush and playmakers everywhere. Who will make an impact?

How to put the finishing touches on a look back at a victory with resounding implications? Perhaps with an assessment of the receivers' excellent game and a defense whose young talent gives it hope for the future.

This is what we've all been waiting for, is it not? Everything Texas A&M had been missing for the last month — effort, intensity, execution — returned in impressive fashion in a victory over the nation's No. 3 team.
